Large scale evolutionary optimization using cooperative coevolution
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been applied with success to many numerical and combinatorial optimization problems in recent years. However, they often lose their effectiveness and advantages when applied to large and complex problems, e.g., those with high dimensions. Although cooperative coevolution has been proposed as a promising framework for tackling high-dimensional optimization problems, only limited studies were reported by decomposing a high-dimensional problem into single variables (dimensions). Such methods of decomposition often failed to solve nonseparable problems, for which tight interactions exist among different decision variables. In this paper, we propose a new cooperative coevolution framework that is capable of optimizing large scale nonseparable problems. A random grouping scheme and adaptive weighting are introduced in problem decomposition and coevolution. Instead of conventional evolutionary algorithms, a novel differential evolution algorithm is adopted....
